Perhaps the most memorable embassy event was the one with the Latin American and Caribbean Embassies. They had a massive showcase of their national foods, artisan goods, and products. It was nice to hear and talk with other Spanish speakers in Japan and I can not wait to meet more! Overall, do you think embassies are good for sharing cultures? Are there better ways?
